Emergency lighting installation in Shifnal

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Shifnal, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

For larger Shifnal sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

We often find dark spots in Shifnal buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

For Shifnal premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
